PIC # 1: Beckham (left) Brian (right) team Johnson/Johnson take Pro Trout first place and are defending their 2022 Ice Masters Championship. In 20 years no one has ever won back to back. They have serious competition in the Pro Division and this years Grand Slam BFP winners were from the Everyday Angler Division
PIC # 2: Hockey anyone?
TROUT: FAIR TO GOOD: Action best early and mid morning. Color’s can change through out the day. Work the bottom in 15 to 25 feet and always have something just below the ice for a nice surprise. Greens and pinks have been good. There will be big fish also cruising the shallows as some early spawners start to drop eggs. Pautzke Trout eggs are a winner. You are not allowed to use eggs out of a fish caught here as bait.
KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR TO POOR: The hot and heavy action for many has dissipated quite a bit. There are still one and two here and there but larger schools have been far and few between. That only means they are some where you are not. If old hot spots are cold you have no choice but to hunt. Punch a hole in a new spot put your jigging machine down give it 20 minutes try another spot. Chances are good they will be showing up again. Right place right time is the key. Early has been better than late.
NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR: Hit and miss one day is good the next is not. That’s catching or not as the case maybe. Try big spoons as an attraction and have another bait in the wait. Big tube with sucker meat or tasty waterdog. Patience is the virtue.
